剛果民主共和國（DRC）的 2026 年伊波拉疫情已正式成為有紀錄以來規模第二大的疫情。
The 2026 Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has officially become the second-largest in recorded history.
此危機超越了 2018 至 2020 年的基伍流行病規模，其擴散速度前所未見，僅次於 2014 至 2016 年西非的大規模疫情。
Surpassing the scale of the 2018–2020 Kivu epidemic, this crisis is moving at an unprecedented speed, trailing only the massive 2014–2016 West Africa outbreak.
由於涉及的病原體為本迪布焦病毒，情況特別令人擔憂。
The situation is particularly concerning due to the pathogen involved: the Bundibugyo virus.
與較常見的薩伊伊波拉病毒不同，目前針對此特定病毒株尚無核准的疫苗或標靶治療方法，使醫護人員失去了最重要的工具。
Unlike the more common Zaire ebolavirus, there are currently no approved vaccines or targeted treatments for this specific strain, leaving health workers without their most vital tools.
人道救援工作更因伊圖里省震央區的地緣政治動盪、持續的武裝衝突以及落後的基礎設施而受到阻礙。
Humanitarian efforts are further hampered by significant geopolitical instability, ongoing armed conflict, and poor local infrastructure in the Ituri Province epicenter.
隨著病毒蔓延至多個省份，國際衛生組織警告目前的遏制能力不足。
As the virus spreads across multiple provinces, international health organizations warn that current containment capacity is insufficient.
此次疫情的迅速惡化凸顯了急需增加國際支持，以防止在該地區本已緊繃到極限的情況下造成更多生命損失。
The rapid acceleration of this epidemic highlights an urgent need for increased international support to prevent further loss of life in a region already stretched to its breaking point.
